As promised I have an update about my experiment on gaining music clearance. So I wrote to the label (IRON LUNG records) of the band Useless Children requesting that I use one their songs ‘Walk Away’ in a small student project I am working on. As I described in my previous blogs. I undertook this process as an experiment; as a way to learn more about getting permission to use copyright music in my projects. I went about getting permission by writing the label a letter explaining my passion for the band’s music, as well as explaining how I would use the song if allowed and where the piece would be exhibited. I received an email back saying to was fine to use the song. So woohoo my first attempt at using copyrighted music has been successful.

Cool, so heres the little experiment. It was filmed during one of our class activities.
